FBS Cars and the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) are offering a £30,000 FBS Census V6 sports car as a prize in a free-to-enter competition at the Hertfordshire County Show on 25^th and 26^th May. Visitors to the FSB stand at the show will be invited to roll seven dice simultaneously; all sixes and the Census V6 is theirs.

FBS director Andrew Barber says: "A few dreams and a lot of hard work have produced the Census which Top Gear’s Tiff Needell has described as "a real driver's car ". We're grateful to the FSB for enabling us to show it off to thousands of visitors at the Herts County Show. We know that the FSB's mission is to support small businesses, and we're pleased to be supporting them. This is a free contest and it should attract a lot of people. Everyone should come along to have their roll of the dice and see the Census."

Says FSB Chiltern organiser Damian Cummins " We are very excited to feature the Census V6, another excellent entrepreneurial small business venture. We look forward to presenting the car to a winner attending the Herts County Show."
